Lost Lord Ranbu

For foreign tourists, sitting on the Ferris wheel overlooking Yokohama is probably a good sightseeing activity.

However, Ranpo has stayed in Yokohama for more than ten years, and the office of the cadres is higher than the Ferris wheel. As long as you open the shade, you can see the whole of Yokohama through the floor-to-ceiling windows.Whether it's Yokohama in the sunset, Yokohama at night, or any other time, it's already a scene he's used to, and it's not necessary to come here to take a ride on the Ferris wheel.

So why does he want to ride the Ferris wheel alone?

Ranbu glanced out of the window with a lack of interest, his eyes only stayed on the tall buildings in the distance and the hot air balloons floating over the port for a while, he quickly retracted his gaze and focused on the ice cream in his hand.

After licking off the top half of the scoop, the uneaten part melted and flowed into the waffle cone.

Ranpo looked at the leftovers in his hand with some distress.

Although the rest is sweet, and I don't dislike the crispy cone as an ice cream hand holder, but the texture of the ice cream after it melts is a little disgusting.But now it is [-] meters away from the ground, and I can't find a place to throw away the garbage in a short time, so I can only hold it in my hand and wait for the Ferris wheel to turn to the end——

Damn, I would have never bought this if I had known.

Luanbu thought.

The cadre's temper is like a child's. He still liked it very much before. Once the thing in his hand became a burden, he couldn't wait to think of a way to throw it out.

"Boom."

There was a muffled sound, as if something had landed on the roof of the cockpit, and the whole cockpit sank suddenly.

"おっと......"

Ranbu opened his eyes slightly, and held onto the metal pole next to him.

It is not a good experience to be in the high-altitude and slightly shaking cockpit. After all, the Ferris wheel is used for sightseeing. People who like high-altitude stimulation have tried bungee jumping.

Could it be that the passing seagulls have nothing to do and come to rest on high places?

But there are no seagulls that big.

Luanbu took a look at the increasingly disgusting cone in his hand, thinking that he didn't have anything good to treat Mr. Seagull to eat now, it would be great if he could have rice balls.

In any case, the shaking of this degree is obviously not the weight that a seagull can have, but it is more like a person jumping up.

Luanbu leaned back, as if he could see the situation above—in fact, he didn't need to look, he could probably guess what the situation was, but because he was looking forward to it, he seemed a little excited .

Before he was allowed to wait too long, the "Seagull" resting above turned over and got down.

The silver-haired man was wearing a warrior's attire, with loose hem, and his movements were very vigorous. Even at a height of [-] meters, he could still maintain a first-class balance.

Relying on his arms to hang his body steadily, he first glanced at Luanbu in the cockpit through the glass window, and then kicked open the high-altitude safety lock on the outside of the Ferris wheel cockpit with only the strength of his toes using his jujitsu skills .The safety door that the staff had strictly warned not to open in mid-air was opened lightly, and he jumped in, as if he had just climbed over the low window on the first floor.

In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be inconceivable that a silver-haired man can climb a hundred meters with his bare hands without any safety measures, and then enter the cockpit of the Ferris wheel from mid-air—is this a new parkour sport, or Got a high-altitude challenge with a camera in the dark?

However, as long as you know his identity, you will feel understandable.

The former killer "Silver Wolf" who belonged to the government, and the famous bodyguard Fukuzawa Yukichi in Yokohama, his martial arts skills have been refined with age, and he is also a rare existence among people who practice ancient martial arts. That being said, it's easy to climb a Ferris wheel with a stand.

But he didn't come to climb the Ferris wheel because he had nothing to do.

The black-haired young man, who hadn't seen each other for a week, still looked heartless. It was not surprising to see him coming, and he smiled and spread out a hand at him: "Hi, Your Excellency Fukuzawa, what do you buy?" Got a ticket? I heard from the crepe seller below that if you want to ride the Ferris wheel, you have to buy a ticket first, but I have been waiting in line for an hour—I have prepared for you.”

"..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at the two crumpled ticket stubs in his palm, and had a more accurate understanding of Edogawa Ranpo's foresight.

He didn't have time for these wisecracks, though.

Fukuzawa Yukichi walked up with a sullen face, snatched the crispy cone that Ranpo was about to throw away, and stared at the tragic ice cream wreck with winter-like cold eyes.

"How much did you eat?" he asked, frowning.

"That's it." Luanbu seemed indifferent, "Do you want to throw it away for me? Thank you, it was a great help, and I just don't want to keep holding it."

"..."

Fukuzawa Yukichi's expression became more and more serious.

Some time ago, Edogawa Ranpo left Yokohama immediately after receiving a call from Mori Ogai, leaving only the upset Fukuzawa Yukichi.

Realizing that he had been shaken, Fukuzawa Yukichi accepted the entrustment of a politician, packed his luggage and went on a business trip to a foreign city.

During the mission, Fukuzawa Yukichi worked as a guard beside the politician. Even if he didn't want to get involved in the current domestic disputes, he was forced to learn a lot of information about the port mafia and the Crow Legion.

Originally, he just wanted to go out to work and relax, but he didn't expect that because of Edogawa's chaos, he became more and more anxious.

The employer mentioned the Raven Legion drug.

It is said that it is a potent poison with unknown ingredients, which can cause the apoptosis of human cells, and some people suggest that it is an accidental experimental product, and the original research direction is not poison.

In short, it is something that cannot be approved by the Food and Drug Administration at all. Probably the biggest role is to "properly handle" organizational troubles.

Ranpo Edogawa, who has no ability to protect himself, but holds a high position in the port mafia, is very likely to become a victim of organizational struggles. Fukuzawa Yukichi is clearly aware of how dangerous Edogawa Ranpo's situation is— No, it should be said that it is not easy for Edogawa Ranpo to live to this age under Mori Ogai.

As I said to Xie Ye, if I agreed to it before, there is still room for redemption.

Maybe...it's not too late.

When Fukuzawa Yukichi thought everything through and worriedly proposed to the client that he wanted to terminate the mission, the politician even thought that he would die in the assassination of the enemy in the next second, otherwise why would His Excellency Silver Wolf give up the mission and leave in a hurry Woolen cloth?

Fukuzawa Yukichi couldn't explain it to him, and the silent silver wolf was obviously more deterrent, so the politician had to send him back respectfully.

As soon as Fukuzawa Yukichi arrived in Yokohama, he called Ranpo Edogawa, and his assistant, Sakunosuke Oda, answered the phone.Fukuzawa Yukichi immediately went to this place after being informed by the other party that Edogawa Ranpo was at the Minato Mirai Ferris Wheel.

That's why Fukuzawa Yukichi appears here.

Fukuzawa Yukichi suspected that the food Ranpo was eating was poisonous, and the highly mobile silver wolf rolled up his sleeves, intending to forcefully induce vomiting on Ranpo.

"what are you going to do?"

Seeing him stepping forward, Luanbu immediately leaned back vigilantly.

But the space inside the cockpit was too small, he didn't get far enough away, and was easily restrained by the warrior.

Ranbu yelled "Wow".

Fukuzawa Yukichi was unmoved.

"Don't eat indiscriminately recently, Dr. Mori..." He subconsciously used the previous address for Mori Ogai, but later felt that it was inappropriate, and called him by his first name, "Didn't Mori Ogai teach you?"

"I didn't eat indiscriminately!" Luanbu's face was deformed by his pinching, and he retorted inarticulately, "And under normal circumstances, even if you want me to vomit, you can't vomit—well, don't make me vomit!"

Ranpo grabbed Fukuzawa Yukichi's sleeve to prevent him from sticking his fingers into his throat.

After hearing what Ranbu said, Fukuzawa Yukichi thought about it, since he was expected to come, and even bought two ferris wheel tickets in advance, so that the enemy would not be able to see the drug.

Taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, Luanpo explained in one breath: "Who do you think Mr. Ranpo is? Since a detective agency is going to be established, of course it is impossible for the future master detective to die here! I have already changed the food for insurance. Ice cream doesn't matter, they're not that smart yet."

Fukuzawa Yukichi let go of his hand.

Now he began to suspect that this was a trap arranged before Ranbu, otherwise why would he choose such a small space with nowhere to escape as a place for the Mafia to trade, and even came here alone...

"Are you so confident?" Fukuzawa Yukichi would not drag his feet on this kind of matter, and asked straightforwardly.

In case someone else is carrying a weapon, but Luanbu has only a smart mind and a mortal body, do you want to block bullets with your head?Not to mention the bullets, seeing that he hasn't been trained, even the general self-defense skills can't be put on the table.

"you do this delibrately?"

That's right, it was on purpose.

Pretending to be weak and stalking, these tricks are too effective for Fukuzawa Yukichi, and they have been proven in the main world.Since there is a simple method, Luanbu is not willing to do anything unnecessary.But if he admits this directly, Ranpo can already foresee what will happen next—he won't be slapped by Fukuzawa Yukichi again, the lesson from the main world before is enough.

So Ranpo avoided talking about the question of "whether it was intentional". Instead, he pretended not to understand anything, and answered him: "What? This is Mr. Mori's plan! But I can't tell Mr. Fukuzawa, after all, it is us Port Mafia thing."

The relationship between Mr. Fukuzawa and Mr. Mori seems to be good. When I can't persuade Mr. Fukuzawa, it should be Mr. Mori's turn. Didn't you say before that you would reward yourself for setting up a detective agency?

Ranpo took it for granted that it was wise for him to divert trouble to the east.

Hearing this, Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Ranpo with more complicated eyes.

Fukuzawa knew he had no position to ask Ranpo to leave the port mafia and Mori Ogai, who used him as a tool, which would lead to Ranpo's emotional backlash.Perhaps it would be better to follow Yosano's suggestion and start with the topic of establishing a detective agency.

He organized his words, and just when he was about to speak, his eyes sharpened suddenly.

The warrior had a keen sense of the coming danger, and Fukuzawa Yukichi almost instantly slashed the wakizashi hidden under his coat.Before Ranbu could react, he was pushed to the ground, followed by the sound of glass shattering.

Everything happened in a flash.

Accompanied by the sparks generated by high-speed cutting and the clang of two metal collisions, Fukuzawa Yukichi completed the feat of splitting two sniper bullets fired from different directions with a knife.He held Wakizashi against his chest, and pressed down Ranbu with one hand, preventing him from moving around and exposing his head to the window.

"Is this also Mori Ogai's arrangement?" Silver Wolf's tone was cold.

"...Oops." Ranbu saw the traces on the blade of Wakizashi's knife, and the four-petal brass shell casing on the ground.

I'm sorry, Mr. Mori.

Luanbu thought.

It seems that Mr. Mori has taken a big blame.
